GUITAR INVESTING IN YOURSELF | Chris Rocha Investing in yourself by acquiring knowledge or skills is the most important investment you can make for yourself. This means investing in your skill to increase your knowledge base and improve your gifting. In this article I will list some of the resources that are available for worship musicians to help improve their playing. The first one is personal to me because I have personally invested a lot of time and money into it. My heart behind this is to invest in the next generation and equip them to advance God’s kingdom. I have personally experienced what it’s like to not have other people share their knowledge with me. Therefore, I have put out content that I believe will be helpful to Spanish guitarists of any caliber. These courses are available on my online platform CR Online (www.chrisrochaguitar.com) and it just launched in June. In these online courses guitarists are able to learn about basic to advanced techniques along with many other helpful tips. Other resources that I have found to be helpful are Tim Pierce’s online program. In my opinion, he is an outstanding guitar player and shares many advanced techniques for guitarists. He has an incredible resume and has been named one of the top 10 studio guitarists in history. His has many free guitar lessons available on his website www.timpierceguitar.com The last resource I highly recommend is Jeffrey Kunde (jeffreykunde.com) He provides video workshops that help teach you how to achieve a professional tone with the gear you have. He also has several books that teach music theory and how to train your ear. I hope you begin to realize how valuable you are and how investing in yourself is worth it. Check these resources out and I hope they help! Chris Rocha Lives in Houston, TX, and is the guitarist and producer for Miel San Marcos 82 July 2020 Subscribe for Free...
